My condolences to your family. I met Lorne through our auction company and he has been a regular at nearly every sale. I personally will miss him as he always had a grin and a handshake for me before every sale. He always asked what was happening in my life and we would have a little chat. I consider myself lucky to have met him and call him a friend. Im gonna miss you buddy RIP. John Lamport - Posted by: John Lamport (Friend) on: Dec 10, 2018
